Is there a apple software dvd besides iMovie
I have been trying to make dvds that i d/l but some of them dont import becasue they are .avi files so i decided to get toast and toast import them but when i burnt the dvd it didnt work on my dvd player. Can someone help me with either siftware to be able to import .avi files
.avi is just a container, other say "wrapper" - could be anything inside; and depending of what is inside, you need different tools....
haven't tried, but this one claims to handle them all:

Sony DW U-10A won't read Apple Software DVDs-
This is on the iMac 17", OS X 10.3.9 Panther, 768MB RAM, 40+ gigs free HD space, no haxies, only Epson printer connected.
The internal Sony DW U-10A drive will read CDs, burn CDs, play movie DVDs and burn DVDs but for some reason will not 'see' Apple SW DVDs. (I haven't anyone else's to try.) I have tried iLife 04, the iMac's original install disk and my iBook's retail Tiger disk. Interestingly, after burning a SW DVD it hangs at 'verifying'. Having successfully burned it can't 'see' what it has burned to verify! The burning is successful, my iBook reads it OK.
When I put a SW DVD in, there is no spinning, no noise, just silence. Then the DVD gets ejected after about a minute. Disk Utility doesn't see the disk either. I can't even run HW test, (it's on the DVD!)
I have tried a head cleaner but that is a CD head cleaner, are DVD head cleaners different?
I have read all the stuff about the problems others are having with the Pioneer drives but nothing seems to apply here.
I have repaired permissions.
I have tried booting it from a 10.4.6 clone of my iBook on an external to do a disk repair but I get a big Ø (the other way round…) and spinning gear wheel(?)
Does anyone have any advice, tips or tricks to try? Unfortunately I can't pin this fault down to any particular time, this weekend is the first time I've loaded a SW DVD in months.
Any and all help appreciated.

iBook G4 1.07GHz, 30 GB, AE, 768mb; & iMac 17" 'igloo' G4:768mb 80 GB (10.3.9) Mac OS X (10.4.6) Belkin WiFi F5D7632, Epson C86, Shredder! Oh, and the iMac's got a droopy arm…Hi Adam,
Thanks for the suggestion, no dice I'm afraid.
Yesterday I downloaded and reinstalled the 10.3.9 combo. Ran permissions and a safe boot. No Apple SW DVD read.
Today, first I did a disk repair from the retail Panther CD 1, no repairs were made. (I ran it twice just to be sure).
I then did as you suggested with iMacs original install DVD (Jaguar) in the iBook's drive, the iBook in Target disk mode and restarted the iMac holding the Option key. The iMac saw the iBook's Tiger drive, the Jaguar disk and obviously, it's own Panther drive as possible start ups. I chose the Jaguar disk, though I was expecting AHT to come up as an option.
After a long time on the spinning gear wheel I eventually got the Ø (inverted) sign with the wheel spinning endlessly.
So the iMac will not 'see' SW DVDs no matter whose drive they are in. Nor, (see my OP) will it boot from a clone of of another OS, even though it sees it as a bootable option!
Curiouser & curiouser…
Unless you or anyone else has any further advice I'm drawing a blank here I think. If I can pry 'the other half' away from 'her' iMac long enough I'm going to try a back-up, erase and install of Panther as that's the only OS I've got on CD. I think I've got 40+ GB free on my external.
Thanks again for you help,
Adrian

Is ther an Apple software update server solution for a Microsoft environment?
My organization has more than 3000 Apple devices. Im trying to centralize mac sotware updates without adding a mac box. We are a Windows Server 2012 R2 environment. Thanks for all the help.
No, but there is a Linux one:
http://signalboxes.net/mac2linux/reposado-apple-software-update-server/ -
I've created a CD-ROM which essentially has a website on it.
I've added an autorun for PC users (assuming those guys still exist) which launches "index.html". So no worries there.
For Mac users, as autolaunch isn't an option (correct me if I'm wrong?), I want to control the look and layout of the Finder window which opens when the disc is inserted and the CD icon is double-clicked. What's the best Apple software to use to do this?
Thanks in advance.Nice to hear your story.

Is there and apple software package similar to BES?
I currently work for a large organisation in the Health industry and we are gradually using more and more ipads and ipods for staff and patients and i was wondering if Apple had some server software to manage the devices in a similar way to the BES server software that we use?
If you be good to have the devices managed on a central server in a similar way to the way we manage our blackberrys
ThanksMac OS X Server has Profile Manager, which allows configuration and management of iOS devices. Information can be found here:
http://www.apple.com/support/lionserver/profilemanager/
and full documentation here:
http://www.apple.com/osx/server/specs/
There are several third-party MDM systems as well, such as Casper from JAMF Software. If you search this forum and the web for "MDM" or "mobile device management", you'll find other options. We don't manage our iOS devices centrally (other than the Exchange server which only enforces basic stuff) so I can't make recommendations from my own experience.

Is there any Apple software or app that can disable internet in a lab?
I manage a computer lab of 28 computers and just need SOMETHING that can remotely disable the internet temporarily. I am going out of my mind trying to find something that will work. Its a wireless lab, used by HS students. I have no control over the wireless hub/ "airport"/ whatev settings, parental controls are not a viable option. ARD seems to have been a bust.
Suggestions?The easiest thing to do is use ARD to set the proxies to a non-existant proxy server (127.0.0.1) when you want to disable www.
There is a template in Send UNIX Command>Templates>Network Setup>Web Proxy
Replace the last line of the template with these two and send to clients (test one Mac first):
networksetup -setwebproxy "Wi-Fi" 127.0.0.1 8080 Off
networksetup -setsecurewebproxy "Wi-Fi" 127.0.0.1 8080 Off
Replace "Wi-Fi" with whatever their active Network conenction is named in System Prefs>Network, as sometimes it has a custom name if Wi-Fi has been retrofitted.
To turn internet ON, repeat the above with commands to disable proxies..
networksetup -setsecurewebproxystate "Wi-Fi" off
networksetup -setwebproxystate "Wi-Fi" off
You can save these Tasks in the sidebar or in the Send UNIX Command>Templates menu and name them "Internet OFF" & "Internet ON".
Then in future, you can just Right-click and choose Run Task. -
I'm a Dropbox user and I migrate between my iMac and a Toshiba notebook. Anyone know if there is Apple software that will work on the Toshiba that will allow me to open Pages, Numbers or Keynote documents when I access them in Dropbox?
Maybe I should just always export from Pages into Word (and likewise for the other types) before I upload to Dropbox? I hope not!!If you don't want to export files and consider the Microsoft formats to be your basic working format, then you need to consider either using MsOffice for Mac or LibreOffice instead of the iWork suite.
You could always run a virtualised OSX on the Toshiba, but I don't think Apple will appreciate me telling you how to do that.

Can any Apple software allow me to edit AVHDC (H264) natively ?
I can import AVHDC (H264) in to iMovie 08, then make changes, edits etc, but when I try to publish at 1080i or any of the hi def formats available to choose from the options list the iMac reports that 6 minutes of footage will take 100 minutes to export !!
I am doing something wrong ? I can share at 960x 540 easily enough from the share > Export movie menu, but on my TV this drop in resolution is noticeable.
Is there any Apple software (perhaps FCE) that will allow me to work directly with the AVHDC video and then export the edit file without loss of quality ?Well, that did not work. I had my project export to quicktime at full res 1440x1080. It took a while but it worked. It played very well on the iMac.
However when I took the resulting.MOV file to my PS3 it would not even see the file.
This despite the fact that the codec is used is playable by the PS3 (i used H264).
iMovie only seems to allow export to .MOV at these high resolutions.
I think I have three possible answers;
1) buy Apple TV and play the full res 1440x1080 .MOV file on that.
2) buy a mac mini just to play these files
3) find some software that will convert the .MOV to another format that the PS3 can work with.
Can you see any fault in my logic ? will the Apple TV device play the full re .MOV file ?
Do i need to go to xetreme of a mini for this application.

im going to buy a macbook pro 13" 1199$ Is Logic Pro Good On Him? And Other Apple Software
Like iWeb, iMovie, And Staffs Like That?As a hobbyist dual core Macbook Pro 13-1nch will do fine.
For professional work, you are better off with Macbook Pro 15-inch quad core i7..
iWeb is no more available from Apple. You may have to check Amzon for it. -
I am trying to find an app or software to burn iMovie 11 slideshow to a dvd. I have a MacBook Pro with Mavericks. There are a lot of DVD Creator apps at the App store. Looking for a recommendation of what to use and tips. Thank you.
I've been using "Burn" for years and it has been the only DVD burning software I have ever used for the mac. I have never needed to look at other apps. Unless you want something that has more bells and whistles such as Roxio's "Toast" : http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/pro/overview.html
There are thousands of quality free apps out there for the mac that are not part of the App Store. All you have to do is read reviews online, do a little search, the Apple forums are full of recommendations from experienced users that have been here for years... -
I have a new Mac computer that has imovie. I recently made a movie that i would like to burn to a DVD. I hear that idvd is no longer being sold. Is there software on the computer that i can use to burn a dvd or is there a recommended software to use?
There is no really satisfactory substitute for iDVD to burn video files from iMovie.
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD 7, i.e. iLife version 9 onwards. You should also do this if you plan to buy a new Mac anytime soon, as stocks of iLife that include iDVD will not be available for ever.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast, which is the best software for burning anything but again does not offer the flexibility of iDVD. -
There are many a thousands of people who are producingvideos on completed DVDs. As an amateur videographer using iMovie first nowusing Final Cut pro to produce completed ready to distribute DVDs, I find ithard to believe at the meeting you mentioned anyone with common sense wouldhave explained the scenario above. On an amateur level so many folks have beencreating videos of Weddings, Home Movies, and many different Special Events. Onin particular are sports events. I shoot a sports event like Mix Martial ArtsEvents utilizing several video cameras. Then editing with Final cut Pro andsometimes iMovie. All of my completed videos that have been edited in either ofthese two programs are shared (like hand in glove) with iDVD. Short of steppinginto the commercial world Apple has deleted many people from producing a semiprofessional looking product.
I do not know if the can be answered here in the format buthere it goes!!
Simple question. Since apple has extinguished iDVD Are thereany other Software programs that can produce the end product iDVD did? Googlesearches with years of outdated info does not give good references. Withoutlooking to go commercial, the Apple Macintosh Computers built internal Softwareprogram like iDVD is the only program I know of that can help folks on mylevel!!
It doesn't seem there are any programs that takes off fromwhere iDVD left off. My end products (complete videography from start tofinished printed and burned DVD) needs to have the mapping and control usingthe semi professional look iDVD gave!
Have any ssuggestions?Thank you Klaus 1
I have 4 latest Macs All have iDVD. The question was not where to get iDVD.
The question for anyone who knows is: Since apple has extinguished iDVD Are there any other Software programs that can produce the end product iDVD did?
I appreciate your input but it realy does not answer the question. iDVD will soon not be able to work with newer versions of Macs as it has been left behind by Apple!
Once again:
It doesn't seem there are any programs that takes off from where iDVD left off.
My end products needs to have the mapping and control using the semi professional look iDVD gave me.
Imovie cannot do this. More importantly imovie cannot save the project to Video_TS folders like iDVD did.
Anyone have suggestions?

Hi, Can anyone recommended software to import dvd to iMovies. I need to import about a dozen homemade DVD's and edit them into a single DVD comprising the 'best bits'. How best can I do this. I have an external hard drive available for the job
You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
And from the TOU of these forums:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
If you are running Lion or later:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. (The same applies to Mountain Lion even though that has it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7. -
I have made a 1 hour 30 minute dvd in IMOVIE. The video and the sound are perfect. However, when I make it into a dvd on IDVD, I lose sound after 3 or 4 minutes. Any Suggestions?
Hey MichiganMan32,
I found an article that looks like it applies to that audio issue you're experiencing. Check out the following troubleshooting steps here:
Resolution
Make sure the audio track has not been muted in the timeline.
Switch to timeline view by clicking the clock button in the iMovie window.
There are three checkboxes on the right side of the iMovie window underneath the sound icon. These checkboxes correspond to the video track and two additional audio tracks. Make sure all three tracks are selected. Any deselected tracks are muted.
If you are using iMovie 3 or later, check the "Edit Volume" option to see if it is selected. If so, make sure the volume of the affected video clips is not set to its lowest level, or try deselecting the option to Edit Volume.
See if the volume in iMovie is set to its lowest setting. Directly under the Preview pane in iMovie is a volume slider. Set this slider to maximum volume.
Make sure the computer's audio is not muted.
Quit and reopen iMovie, then check the clip to see if it now plays with audio.
Check to see if any of the video clips you have imported are in the MPEG-1 format. MPEG-1 clips will lose audiowhen you export them as part of your iMovie project.
Quit and reopen iMovie, then reimport the footage from the camera. Play the newly imported footage and see if you now have audio.
If you are using an analog to DV converter instead of a camera, make sure the audio connections are good between your VCR or other analog device and the converter. Check the documentation that came with your converter for more information.
Check /Library/QuickTime/ and ~/Library/QuickTime/ for any third-party plugins. Remove them if present, log out, and log back in. Check to see if the issue persists. If not, check with the manufacturer of the disabled plugin to see if an update is available. Note: The tilde (~) represents your Home directory.
Note: "Apple Intermediate Codec" and "QuickTimeMPEG2" are Apple components. For more information about a particular plugin, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info. Look at the version string of the Get Info window to see if the plugin developer name is listed.
iMovie is missing audio on import, export, or playback
